Toms Tip: Keeping splinters out of your yarn.
What’s on the Bench?
Marc is still plugging away on the Hall Frame, trying to balance building, filming, and photographing all at the same time! Matt is excited about a couple new tools he picked up from his Grandfather.
Around the Web:
ToolCritic.com Tools are classified by type and manufacturer, and for each category, 7 1/4 inch circular saws, for instance, there is a little mini article that tells you all about the saws. The user-generated reviews give honest assessments. Some tools get high praise, while others are flamed. And if you post five reviews, you get a free t-shirt.

A new buffing wheel for the 8″ grinder, a plastic drafting triangle, and a square template.

Router for a router table
Milwaukee 5625-20 fixed base is “awesomeâ€Â
3-1/2 hp
They designed this Router with table mounting in mind,
I think the best thing would be there design avoiding sawdust in the motor knowing that this would be mounted upside down, not like some other brands.
Marc, You’re moving?!? What about the workshop?
